    Imma do this, but in Europe.
    Kind of related: the largest supermarket in my hometown used to put “country of origin” flags next to wine bottles only. Now they’re expanding them, aisle after aisle, to everything, it seems.

    I like that there’sa Canadian maple leaf on all the Canadian products but I would prefer an American flag on American goods. I don’t mind buying European or products of other countries, just avoiding the u.s.

    Sadly it’s more difficult to turn computers, websites, tech services, and operating systems upside down.

    It’s a nice idea for small physical products but it would also be nice to have a movement to boycott and give alternatives to American tech services.

      I’m almost there! Gonna install a new OS on my phone in the weekend, then I’m completely murica free.

      Next step: convincing and helping others

      Edit: except my payment cards, also I try to use my phone whenever I can (which still uses SWIFT, I guess)

    do people feel they need to screenshot as they don’t want to appropriate it or is it just a convenience thing where cutting and pasting test does not work so screenshots instead? Im curious as I have a text bias.

    Stores should have stickers indicating if a product is local and/or made in EU

    Remove the price tag that’s typically on the shelf below the product. It’s usually just a little paper insert behind some plastic.

    Little US flag or Trump stickers that you can discretly add to packaging.

    Placing the products upside down is a good one.

    For loose produce: place fruit or veg in the little carry bags that are usually nearby, as much as you can fit. Then, just put the filled and tied bag back.

    That’s atleast better than picking up a product and leaving it somewhere else because you decided that you didnt need it anymore.
